FROM BASIL
I am Mr Basil yahi,the only son of late Mr and Mrs A.B.J
Yahi.My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan,the
economic capital of Ivory Coast, my father was poisoned to death by
his business associates in one of their outings on a business trip.
My
mother died when I was a baby and since then, my father took me so
special.Before the death of my father on January 2003 in a private
hospital here in Abidjan,he secretly called me on his bedside and told
me that he has the sum of Eighteen Million,Five Hundred Thousand
USdollars(US$18,500,000)left in a fixed/ suspense account in one of
the prime banks here in Abidjan waiting until i find a God fearing
person to help me.
I want to transfer this money and use it for
investment purpose such
as real estate management or hotel management.
I am honourably seeking
your assistance in the following ways:
1) To
serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 20years old
2) To
make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and to secure a resident permit for me in your country.I am
prepared to negotiate with you regarding your percentage commission
for assisting me.
Best
Regards
Basil

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
